Microsoft Refugee (Score 1)

Just get your relative an Asus EEE - icon based desktop with easy programs for everday use. It is the opposite end of the spectrum from OLPC for kids in Africa, but the requirements are probably similar. For myself, having used MS Windows since 3.1, I have just now ditched everything at home I use for Linux, my wife was upgraded to XP from Vista, and my kids are using Vista with varying problems. MS have no idea what the market wants or needs, and after being a die-hard user I have seen the light. Now if I have to, I use XP on VirtualBox in Ubuntu, and relish the indignity Windows has of being relegated to an application window!
